Latest Update..

All three cars have had twin digital speedo's fitted (one on the drivers side, one on the passenger side). The cars have also been fitted with a special electronic speed limiting device that's switchable from the dash, this device means that the cars will jump at the perfect speed, all the driver has to do is hold the gas pedal flat to the floor when jumping.
We've also fitted grill mounted driving lights to the cars as well.

The dark Blue Cooper has been working on courses for the last couple of weeks, we have fitted it with a hydraulic handbrake and completely disconnnected the ABS system.

The Red Cooper has had some teething problems with the electronic disconnect of the ABS, this car's job is 360 degree spins on our split surface.
We planned on just having an ABS on-off switch but we cant get it to work without losing the speedo. This car is switching to mechanical ABS disconnect today.

The Electric Blue Cooper is our third jumps car, it will also be used as a spare car should we have a mechanical issue with the other cars.

We're still looking to buy a white automatic cooper...

All three cars are making their official debut this weekend in Sydney.
They are being driven up from Melbourne on Saturday morning, should look very cool wizzing up the Hume highway in convoy.........
